I have a linksys router model WRT160NL but the range is too short. I
experience many situations where the connection is dropped when the

router when it comes to signal strength? I would prefer one which can be
flashed with dd-wrt.
Thanks in advance
I am looking for a new router as well but more for the security aspect so I want dd-wrt or other software on it to run with decent firewall and filter controls.
For outdoor access, there are many other routers in the area. I downloaded an Android app (Wifi Analyser) that lists routers, sids, channels being used and signal strength for those routers. I then selected channels that were the clearest for access. What I have noticed is that many are higher powered routers so that is a requirement for getting a better signal in my yard.
I am looking for one that does have an external antenna port.

It is worth looking at http://www.mikrotik.com/
https://routerboard.com/
I'm using hAP lite and i'm very satisfied.
Flat is 100 sq meters, brick wals, no problem with wifi.
Not to mention excelent RouterOS.
wow, those routerboard routers (at least the hEX models) are incredibly
inexpensive. Are they any good?
Fred
No experience with the hEX.
SInce i'm very satisfied with lower hAP, i'm expecting the hEX is even
better. For that price i will give it a try.

I'm coming late to this thread, but you will always be better with an
external antenna port, since it gives you options, one of which is a
longer antenna. Another is to remote the antenna to a
better location by means of a coax cable. Or, of course, both!
